One medic left at Gaza hospital as Israel says it arrested 100 ‘terrorists’
Humanitarian organisations have been helping to move patients elsewhere after Israeli forces withdrew from Kamal Adwan hospital
Only one doctor remains at Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital following a days-long Israeli raid, a spokesman for the Hamas-run health ministry has said.
In a video statement, Dr Khalil Daqran urged international organisations to send medical staff to the hospital in the north of the strip, saying patients there were bleeding to death for lack of proper care.
On Monday, Israel said its forces had detained about 100 "terrorists" at the hospital before withdrawing.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the hospital, inside Jabalia refugee camp, had been used by Hamas - claims denied by local health officials.
Mr Daqran said: "Two days ago, the army stormed Kamal Adwan Hospital, causing widespread destruction: setting large parts on fire, destroying the hospital’s entrances, and demolishing surrounding walls.
"Patients and medical staff were assaulted, with many patients and companions arrested, along with most of the medical staff.
"The fate of 30 medical personnel remains unknown.
"The army has removed the hospital from service entirely, destroying all its contents. There are now no medicines, medical supplies or food within the hospital."
